Im currently in grand teton national park and need to get a test before seeing my parents. This area that has 5+ million visitors a summer has about 3 covid tedting sites in an 2-3 hour drive. The main hospital needs a referal to give you s test. Any referals from out of the area will have their tests sent to another site, results are expected in 5-7 buisness days. When asked how much it would cost, they said they have no idea, they will bill the insurance. We have decided not to take this test and wait till we are in a major city and get the 15 minute test. Naturally, they have plenty of open appointments to administer the test. Our healthcare is completely broken. These national parks are intersections of people from all over the US and one of the most important places to have rapid testing and its just completely unavailable.
- lumberingjack 6y agoImagine a virus so bad you got to get tested in order to know if you have it or not. You made the choice to go to the park nobody forced you to go there you're going to have to sacrifice some stuff if you want to be 100% safe but trust me buddy CDC websites says 003% that anything is going to happen

And if you want to look at it in a fiscally conservative way, prevention of spread is cheaper than treating those it may have spread to.
